I think I qualify as an old lady, Toni, but I wear mostly sweats & certainly don't own any "old lady" dresses or clothing. I just bought a black crushed velvet 2 piece outfit that might work as part of a witches outfit if you had the pointed black hat. I think you should go as a college student!! Or how about a bookworm?

(for 1600 bucks for 3 classes for a semester not including books I don't feel l ike I'm learning much... unless you consider learning where your profs stand politically and I could care less about that stuff )

welllllllllllllllllll I had decided on the CSI thing... but then I got really sick on Saturday and didn't go to teh costume party... had all the stuff but just felt AWFUL... still feeling icky but hey I go on vacation on Wednesday so what do I really care?

Bummer about the party--but you're right--better to feel well for your vacation.

I have to tell you that in the end we could not get Madelyn to wear her Halloween costume. She was so totally UNHINGED from all the trick or treaters ringing the doorbell that we did not manage to calm her down until we ourselves left to go trick or treating! :sheesh:
